Seven years ago, there was a small island in the West Sea.

This small island is not very large, and although it belongs to a large national sphere of influence, it is a remote corner and no one cares about it at all.

However, the inhabitants of the island did not care whether they were ignored or not.

Fishing, then selling it to a nearby town, and going to the village tavern for a drink with the money earned is the daily routine of the residents of this small village, who have nothing to do and get together to talk about the newspaper news and which girl is beautiful.

Everything in the outside world has nothing to do with this place, and the pirates' routes will never come to this uncontested village, or they will not be able to find it at all, because this village is so small.

Because there are only a dozen families in the village, the total number of people is only 100.

So there are very few children of the same age, and there are only two children in the whole village.

One of them, Bertrand, was 14 years old and was already the youngest child in the village.

His parents worked in the town outside and would only come back once in a long time, and he usually lived with his grandmother. Every time his parents come back, it is when he is the happiest, because every time his parents bring him a lot of fun toys.

Life in the village was boring and boring, after all, he was too young to go to the only tavern in the village to drink after work like adults. But fortunately, he still has this very good playmate.

Very gentle, very moral, and a playmate who also loves to laugh.

This playmate is called Briss, who is only a year older than him, but he feels like a big brother, and he accompanies him every day as if he were taking care of his younger brother.

Even in little Bertrand's heart, Briss was his brother.

Forever, forever brother!

It's just that it's always just a luxury.

All of this, after one thing started, was all ruined......

On that day, they were playing on the beach and saw a man floating on the sea, a man dressed in a typical black and red pirate costume.

"This is a pirate, let's leave him alone and let him fend for himself, shall we?" These are the words of Bertrand when he saw the man.

However, Bliss had a different view from him, and Bliss felt that it was a human life, and that whoever he was, since he had encountered it, he should be saved.

Bertrand disagreed, for in the newspapers and in the mouths of the adults, the pirates were all evildoers: "It's too dangerous, Briss, what if he wakes up and tries to kill us?" ”

"No, we saved him, and he'll leave when he wakes up!"

"But ......"

"Don't worry, even pirates are human beings, and they won't be as brutal as adults say."

Bertrand was angry, but helpless.

Because this is Blis, he is very friendly to everyone, very simple, easy to trust people, and even more caring for people.

Moreover, Bliss's parents went to sea to become pirates when he was very young, so he has a much better impression of pirates than himself...... In the end, he couldn't resist the stubborn Briss.

Bertrand helped bring the man, who was still angry, to Briss's house.

Bliss lives alone, and probably because of this, he can develop a character like him who is willing to take care of people!

If he could, Bertrand hoped that Briss would continue like this for the rest of his life.

Because, a year younger than him, he was far less innocent than he came, and if he had seen this pirate alone, Bertrand felt that he should have thrown stones into the sea.

lest this pirate float ashore.

So sometimes Bertrand hates this kind of character, but he is not ready to change it, because often when we grow up, we will become the person we used to hate.

People are going to become!

But, he didn't want Bliss to change.

It's okay to be like this and have your own one, and Brice will always be so simple, kind, gentle and take care of people, because that's what Briss is, isn't it?

"Blis, will you change when you grow up?"

Once upon a time, he asked that.

At that time, Bliss's answer was a gentle smile, rubbing his hair like a big brother and laughing: "No matter how it changes, I am your good friend, and why should I change?" ”

That's right!

Why change?

"Hehe, I hope you can do this for the rest of your life."

It's okay to have one of you!

However, it turned out that he ...... It's still too naïve, people will still become after all!

This is irresistible and cannot be resisted, because this kind of 'change' is called growth.

Under the care of the two of them, the man gradually got better and finally woke up.

It's an uncle who talks very funny, and although he laughs a little scary, he gets used to it after watching it for a long time.

What he had imagined did not happen, and after the uncle was well he wandered around the village for a few days, basically sitting in the tavern without drinking, and then borrowed a small boat and left the village.

This made Bertrand feel that his suspicion was really annoying.

But the next day he put the matter behind him, because his parents came back and brought a lot of toys.

When he saw these toys, the first thing that came to Bertrand's mind was Briss, so after asking his parents' permission, he invited Briss to his home and happily play with the toys his parents had brought back.

It was a whole day of play, and the arrival of night was accompanied by torrential rain, and the thunder was loud that day.

Bertrand was a little frightened, and it happened to rain so heavily, so he asked Briss to stay and sleep with him, and played late at night, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Even in the midst of the thunder, Bertrand slept soundly.

However, this sweetness also became the last sweet dream, and everything changed after this night.

The thunder and the night became so terrible......

In his sleep, the sound of breaking doors and screams woke Bertrand from his sleep, and the scarlet blood flowed through the cracks in the door by candlelight.

He didn't know whose blood it was, but he felt scared and wanted to scream in horror, but a hand covered his mouth.

It was Brice's hand, and he woke up at the same time as he woke up.

And the first thing he did was to cover his mouth and whispered, "It's okay......"

"Look in every room to see if there is anything valuable, this is the first business of our pirate group, whether we can develop in the future depends on this time."

The sound is familiar!

Bertrand visibly felt Briss cover his hand and tremble.

It's the pirate, the pirate who was rescued.

Bertrand was dumbfounded, looking at the door in a daze, he wanted to make sure...... But he didn't have the courage, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained at this moment.

All he could do was ...... Look at Bliss with resentment, hatred, and anger!

When Briss noticed his gaze, the trembling in his hands became more and more pronounced.

Fear?

I don't understand, but I shouldn't be!

Bliss finally shoved him under the bed and walked out of the room.

What happened after that, he didn't know, just ...... When the navy arrived the next morning, the whole town was left with only the two of them.

He was not harmed, but Brice collapsed in a pool of blood, and at the same time a knife wound appeared on his face, he lost a left eye!

……

“…… It's mine...... Helper! Auderon looked at Brice with a smile on his face and a gentle tone.

The resentment in Bliss was like substance, and the gums were bleeding at this moment.

"It's changed a lot, you are a very gentle and lovely child!"

Hollande didn't care at all, and said to himself: "I didn't expect you to join the navy, and the one you just rescued was ...... Well, I think it's Bertrand, a stinky little imp with a heavy mind, and if I hadn't seen you, I'd have forgotten about him completely. ”

Bliss didn't answer, but his eyes turned blood-red, and he rushed towards Hollande.

Bang!

The gunshot exploded, and Bliss's running figure slid straight to the ground, and a bloody hole appeared in his thigh, constantly bleeding outward.

"Cut, it's really scary!"

Hollande withdrew his second fire, with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth: "Time is indeed a terrible thing sometimes, but in seven years, a little ghost who had to say sorry first when he killed a fish has now become a murderer without saying a word!" ”

"Hollande !!"

Anger came from Bliss's mouth, his chin touched the ground, and he dragged his body towards Orlande.

Bang!

Without hesitation, another shot was fired, and this shot hit Bliss directly in the arm, and said with a smile: "I don't want to either, who made you so powerful, I don't want to die yet!" ”

"Well, I invited you once seven years ago, for the sake of you saving my life, I invite you again, if you want to get on my ship, the deputy captain can be you!"

Bliss pupils shrank slightly, and there was no joy in it, only resentment: "You dream, garbage!! The hoarse voice revealed infinite hatred.

If it weren't for this person, nothing would have changed......

"Sure enough, you're still so naïve!"

Hollande took a few steps forward and squatted down, and said, "I thought you could change a little more, but the essence hasn't changed at all, can't you pretend to join my pirate group first, and then find a chance to kill ...... Hiss ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Bliss moved forward with all his might, biting down on his ankle.

"Damn, give me relief!"

Hollande scrambled to his feet and kicked Bliss in the mouth, trying to kick the mad dog away.

But Bliss did not let go in the slightest, even if his face was swollen by the kick and his teeth were loosened.

Because...... He doesn't want to change!

Because...... He hasn't changed!

Prove that you haven't changed!

Even if he wants to tell him that he is not a changed person, he is not here!

Hollande raised his hand and aimed at Brice's head, but ...... Then he took the gun back, and if there was anyone in this world he didn't want to kill with his own hands, it was only the young man in front of him.

People tend to yearn for things they don't have.

At that time, he was smiling happily.

Just as Bertrand remembered, although terrifying, it was not terrible!

After a few more hard kicks, Bliss was finally kicked out, but he bit off a piece of flesh alive.

Hollande's face was furious, and he took two quick steps forward, and gave Briss a few more kicks in succession.

"Naive Imp !!"
